got an email from amazon today......They pop up from time to time, "Sold by Newegg", for only around 50-60% market over MSRP (Newegg's own gouging), versus ebay's nearly 100% mark-up (scalper prices).
In short, I've seen 1660 Super and 1660 ti cards go for $400-450 on Newegg, from Newegg themselves.
Now if only RX 5700XT cards would show up, I could stand to pick up another couple of those babies...![]()
If I had a viable backup card I would sell my 1660ti in a second.The pricing on those supers is just nuts.
I had the same problem shopping for a 1660ti, hard to find one that had a DVI connection. My monitor is getting really old but I hate to replace something that works good enough.I actually just bought one Saturday to throw in my wife's PC because the new card I'd put in doesn't have DVI and that meant I had to swap out her 27" 1440p Korean dual link only monitor for my old 43" 4k and she hated it. I had to get a stock tracker notification of it though since the 1660S still pop up but is not at all common. I doubt they're making them anymore.
I doubt AMD are even making them anymore now that the 6700XT has dropped and wafers are being devoted to production for Navi 23 chips that will replace the 5700XT.Now if only RX 5700XT cards would show up, I could stand to pick up another couple of those babies...![]()
My 1660ti is great for 1050P, I assume this covers 1080P too.I snagged 2 online today from Zotac on ebay today. There were 110 sold and 3 available, and I was able to get 2 (one for me, one for my son). I hope they dont suck. Prices was awful, but not scalper level awful.
Jesus Christ, people are actually paying ~$550 for used 1660 Supers on ebay. Even though my backup gpu is a GeForce 8400GS that can't even run 1080p youtube well I really should sell my 1660 Super. And then buy a $200 RX 570 4GB since the only things I play on PC are easy to run Japanese RPG like Persona 4 Golden and Persona 5 Strikers and then easy to run Japanese visual novels like Phoenix Wright and Danganronpa.If I had a viable backup card I would sell my 1660ti in a second.
It's a pretty good card for 1080p. I just finished a long playthrough of RDR2 on mine a couple of months ago and the card handled it like a champ. Was able to run it 1080p60 with the tweaks to settings that Hardware Unboxed recommended (great youtube channel btw, check their two videos on the game if you want to play it) and it looked spectacular. Enjoy, they're nice cards.I snagged 2 online today from Zotac on eBay today. There were 110 sold and 3 available, and I was able to get 2 (one for me, one for my son). I hope they dont suck.

Im all geeking out now!! Finally 1080p gaming!
Yeah my fantasy plan would be to sell it for $600(ish), put in a 2012 card deal with it for a year or so then use the $600 to purchase something kickass when prices stabilize.Jesus Christ, people are actually paying ~$550 for used 1660 Supers on ebay.

290x is the value play imo. Or 1060 3GB for less oomph but way more efficiency. Both doubled in price - to about $150 if you shop a little. Or even less if you try harder.Jesus Christ, people are actually paying ~$550 for used 1660 Supers on ebay.

GPU progress is still much better than CPUs. Moving from my 1070 to a 3070 is more than double the performance at 1440p (2.1x to be precise). I overpaid for it, but not much ($629 USD) and I've made more than double the difference back already with it's Eth mining performance. My Ryzen 3600 OTOH was not much of an upgrade from my OC 4670k, and the 5600x I currently have is pretty much a side-grade to the 3600 (at 1440p).Yeah my fantasy plan would be to sell it for $600(ish), put in a 2012 card deal with it for a year or so then use the $600 to purchase something kickass when prices stabilize.
I hate how there is so little progress in video cards now, I miss the days of every 12-18 months you could double your power for $200. Since this is the normal now, buying an $800 card when the market stabilizes could literally get me a decade of good performance.
